When writing the dozen or so chapters of "Hidden Dragon in the Abyss: The Black Egg Awakens", I was actually "competing" with myself - I was afraid that the protagonist's growth from the egg-breaking dragon to the core of the coalition would be too abrupt, and I was also afraid that the group characters would become "background boards", so many details were scratched out when writing. For example, the protagonist was unable to speak properly when he first broke out of the egg, but later he was able to shoulder the responsibility of the coalition and dare to fight with the Paladin. In the middle, small clips such as "the first time he spoke human language after transforming" and "the anxiety when he became a disciple of Mo Chenzi" were specially added in order to make "growth" not just "upgrade", but also have a real sense of "learning to protect". Mo Chenzi did not name the protagonist "Mo" randomly. It not only matches the color of his black dragon scales, but also hides the idea of "using ink as a shield" - from the dragon mother saying "live to see the truth" to the protagonist later protecting his friends and not killing indiscriminately. This is what the dragon family should be like, not a ferocious beast that only knows revenge. There are also those supporting characters, I really can't bear to let them be tool men: Van En looks at the rough lines, but he will hide the protagonist in a leather bag and break into Black Rock City, and secretly leave barbecue for the protagonist; Lin Xi was afraid of the Holy Light Hunter at the beginning, but later dared to use the wind blade to block attacks for his teammates; Aila deliberately used the Elf Demon Archer to support Let her use the "water mirror to protect arrows" to block the holy light, which not only reflects the skills of the elf, but also shows her sass; even Old John is not a simple "NPC". He hides forbidden books and helps the villagers hide food. Those small details are all to make everyone feel that these characters are really working with the protagonist in the north, with flesh and blood. The most troublesome thing is actually the foreshadowing of the King of Heroes. Instead of writing him as a "perfect hero", he was made to bear three hundred years of infamy for protecting the dragon mother and hiding black eggs, just because he didn't want to be "black and white" - his helplessness and guilt were more weighty than the simple "great righteousness". The clues about the sacred heart and the black dragon's reverse scale were also buried long ago. I hope that when the readers see the truth, they will be like the protagonist and "that's it." Now that I write that they are going to the highest peak to find the tomb of the King of Heroes, I am getting excited - the conflicts between various ethnic groups and the conspiracy of the church are finally getting to the core. When I was writing, I was always thinking, will everyone be like me and feel the passion of "not fighting alone" when seeing Fann charging into the battle with a hammer, Ella shooting arrows to protect her teammates, and Mo Chenzi trying his best to block the holy light? In fact, this was my original intention in writing this story: it is not just about the revenge of a dragon, but about a group of ordinary people (as well as dragons, elves, and dwarves) coming together to protect what they want to protect in their own way. This "unity" is more poignant than any powerful magic. I'm already imagining the plot from the following to the climax. Just thinking about the protagonists facing the mausoleum mechanism and the church's pursuers, I can't help but want to write it down quickly!
